Aptos said its first testnet reset is scheduled for Oct. 7, a move aimed at keeping storage growth in check after the network processed more than 10 billion transactions. Once the reset takes place, the testnet will return to its initial state. Deployed contracts, test accounts, balances and historical records will all be wiped, which means developers will need to deploy again. The company said the reset will not affect either mainnet or devnet. Aptos linked the decision directly to the rising storage burden on testnet and said periodic resets are intended to keep the network’s storage footprint within a reasonable range. The announcement outlines a maintenance measure for the testing environment rather than any change to production infrastructure.

The team said the testnet has already processed more than 10 billion transactions, and storage usage has grown along with that activity. Aptos said periodic resets can keep storage size within a reasonable range.
